Hi all,

I'm so excited I thought I'd share this news with you doggy lovers, which I'm sure can relate more than anyone else.

Today I finally made my decision and enrolled in a dog obedience training program, with specilialization in working with shelter dogs! The course takes about a year, but since part of it is home study, the faster you finish that part the sooner you can move on to the next stages, which are the hands-on training part and shelter work phase. I absolutely cannot wait. Hopefully I can finish and pass the theory stage as fast as possible.

Obviously I'm not going to quit my dayjob just yet, or anytime soon! But as a longterm goal, I am hoping for this course to put me in a position to make a transition to a fulltime dogtraining career. This is what I have been wanting to do ALL my life. I don't know why it took me so long to make it happen. This is what I am incredibly passionate about, and think will be the most rewarding job I will ever have! Don't know why making decisions are so difficult! Sometimes you KNOW you have to make a change, you KNOW you need to move on to the next phase of your life, but for some reason you get too comfortable with your preset "unhappy" situation. Or maybe it's the fear of unknown that stops you from pusuing your dreams.

Someone once told me: "Take a step, and the bridge will be there". Today I took the step, without any part of the bridge in sight! But I know it will appear when it's time.

Anyways, just thought'd I'd share the excitement.

Any trainers on the forum? Any pointers you can give me to succeed? Anything????

Thank you all for stopping by my post.

Can't wait to start...yayyyy...yayyyyyy
